The temperature sensor that byobu uses by default is on the motherboard so I would like to have it display the temperature from coretemp instead. I have this temperature at /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp but it returns the temperature in thousandths of a degress and byobu displays this value directly when I set MONITORED_TEMP=/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp in my statusrc file so I end up with 35000C instead of 35C. Is there another location I can pull this temperature from or can I configure byobu to divide the result by 1000 before displaying it?

Found my answer in the source code. If MONITORED_TEMP matches *temp*_input it will be divided by 1000 so updating my config to use the hwmon path instead of thermalzone solved the problem:

MONITORED_TEMP=/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input

    So your CPU is not powered by a thermo-nuclear reaction?
